In 1858, a ship destined for the goldfields of Australia is wrecked on a reef on the outer quarter of the Solomon Islands. What happens next is a tale of courage, resilience, and adventure that will have one man questioning all that he thought he knew.
A bold decision to change the route of the Elizabeth May ends in tragedy when the ship is wrecked near Heron Island. Many of the crew and the 300 Chinese laborers onboard perish and for the stricken survivors, the future looks dire.
After a series of calamitous events, a longboat carrying the captain, a few crew members, and young Matt Jones reach a remote Australian peninsula. Injured and near death from thirst and starvation, Matt has only just begun to recover when he faces a devastating betrayal and finds himself left alone in a strange and hostile land.
